I've regrown my hair since I got on Finasteride a year ago. My hair line is just about back to normal. PPP (please post pics) if you grow boobs...

I had a HOLeP a week ago, no pain afterwards (other than burning pee) very little bleeding. I had been in full retention for over a year, having to self catheter five times a day. I’m 72, and had prostate issues since I was in my 30’s.
The tissue came back negative for cancer. I was very hesitant but it’s worked out so far.

When my PSA numbers went up I started taking saw palmetto without saying anything to my doctor. Next appointment my numbers were down and I was sleeping and peeing better. When I told him I was taking it he was kinda pissed, not because I was taking it but because I didn't mention it to him. He said "it will lower your numbers" and he needs to know what I'm talking. All that to say it's working for me.

You might find this hard to believe, but I saw a infomercial for this product called Ideal Prostrate. Honestly, it has worked for me really good. I was having problems nor they're much improved.

Hello all,
I have such an enlarged Prostate that I can’t get more than about an hour and 15 minutes sleep at a time at night. My prostrate is encroaching on my bladder thus reducing the volume it holds. I’m taking .4 mg Tamsulosen 2x a day and Finasterude once a day. My Urologist says they are “ throwing the book at me”. I tried some Saw Palmetto but ran out before I could tell for certain there were any benefits. I’m sure at least some of my friends here have been where I am. Have you found a natural treatment/remedy which works? I would love to have a normal nights’ sleep.
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Rick Get a new urologist this guy is an idiot. Your prostate will never encroach on your bladder and does not reduce the amount it will hold. Run to a new urologist. Now.

While true it won’t reduce the volume of the bladder, a large median lobe of the prostate can encroach the bladder. It acts as a ball valve. You can try drugs, but they don’t work well for that particular issue.

The Prostate is a horse collar shaped sphincter muscle The urethra travels from the bladder through the "neckhole" of the horse collar to the tip of your dick. That sphincter opens to unpinch the urethra to drain your bladder. And closed to pinch the urethra shutting the flow from your bladder off. When the Prostate becomes enlarged, it can't open fully, so the bladder doesn't fully empty, meaning a shorter period of time before full again thus up more times to piss at night. You need to shrink the Prostate and/or enlarge the urethra. Personally I don't do drugs. So its either nutraceuticals or surgery. (Roto router or a stent,/bladder system)

LOL, the prostate is not a sphincter muscle. If it was, it wouldn't be nearly as susceptible to cancer.

The prostate is both a gland and a muscle below the bladder and in front of the rectum in men and people assigned male at birth (AMAB). It consists of connective tissues and glandular tissues. It adds fluid to semen, and its muscles help push semen through your urethra. There are over 50 distinct types of sphincters in the human body, some of which function involuntarily, some respond to stimuli, and others are controlled voluntarily … Guess the sphincter in your head is a little too tight.

Just keep in mind Finasteride will take at least 6 months to have any affect on the prostrate and some have to take it closer to a year for it to have any improvement.
Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.

The prostate is both a gland and a muscle below the bladder and in front of the rectum in men and people assigned male at birth (AMAB)....... LOL, "assigned male at birth (AMAB)." You either wrote that off the top of your head or did a Google cut and paste. It's hard to say which is more pathetic. And let me repeat, no one defines the prostate as "a sphincter muscle." That's like saying "the heart is a valve." The heart has valves but that doesn't make it a valve. I can draw a picture if that helps.

Things to avoid if you have BPH...
1. Pseudoephedrine
2. antihistamines
3. coffee + other caffeines (morning is OK, but not after noon if you want to sleep)
